Adventurous Scouts from Finchampstead climbed, jumped and slid their way around the Swiss Alps during a two-week expedition.

A group of 50 boys, girls, leaders and helpers from the 1st Finchampstead Scouts left Luton airport to travel to Switzerland for the Kandersteg Expedition in August.

The international Scout camp takes place every five years and the youngsters were thrilled to join Scouts from around the world at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre in the Alps.

During the two weeks the group stayed in a mountain hut and took part in activities such as hiking, mountain biking, rafting, glacier walking and a toboggan run.

They also walked up the famous Eiger mountain and went on a trip to the Swiss capital Bern before joining in with an overnight climb and dawn hike.

Beavers, Cubs and Scouts from the Finchampstead Scout troop will also be taking part in a charity packing challenge at Sainsbury’s in King Street Lane, Winnersh, on Saturday, December 3. The youngsters will help customers pack their bags for funds.
